On January 24th, the long-awaited New Year’s party was held! This year, many members gathered to celebrate the start of the new year with delicious food and drinks. At the first party, we had a seri-nabe (winter hotpot), at the second party, we ate seafood, and at the third party, we enjoyed some delicious sake! I’m not a fan of Shirako (fish milt), but I was surprised at how delicious the one from Tohoku was! Seafood from Tohoku really is the best.

In 2024, I was able to work hard on my research thanks to the support of my professors and seniors. I will continue to do my best this year too!
